Welcome to the first post of 2022 in the Growing Bookworms series.

A lot of people and children face change at the beginning of a new calendar year. In the Southern Hemisphere, children change grades and sometimes schools. Parents often change jobs and this can trigger changes to homes, schools, cities, and even countries.

      1. I will be sharing quotes a little differently with #WarAndPeace2022. I know that Liz Humphreys will be sharing quotes weekly, and I’m getting more organized on how I want to mark the journey.
